Isadora Moon.

Descriptive Transcript.

[Upbeat music plays]

DESCRIPTION: In an animation, stars twinkle in the night sky over a pink and white castle. Some of the turrets are grey and black, and others are pink and white. Isadora Moon flies up in front of the full moon and waves her wand. She has long black hair, pink bat-like wings, and two sharp fangs. Isadora wears a grey sweater over a pink dress with black stars on the skirt. She wears black-and-white striped leggings and pink boots.

[Song] Isadora Moon, the one and only, here I go. I'm totally unique and extra-starry. Waving my wand, flying fearlessly, yeah.

DESCRIPTION: Isadora stands with her parents, Countess Cordelia Moon and Count Bartholomew Moon. Cordelia has long, curly, pink hair and wears flowers in it. She has transparent, butterfly-like green wings and wears a green sweater and a pink dress. Bartholomew has short black hair and fangs. He wears a long black-and-purple cape, grey pants, and a grey-striped vest over a red shirt.

[Song] It's your girl, Isadora, a little bit of both, half a vampire, half a fairy.

DESCRIPTION: Isadora holds Pink Rabbit’s paw as she flies. Isadora transforms into a mermaid, then into a grey-and-pink cat.

[Opening Credits] Written by Myles McLeod. Theme song by Helen Park. Series Director, William Gordon. Based on the Isadora Moon Books and Characters by Harriet Muncaster.

[Song] Ready for a new, exciting journey, sparkly and extraordinary. Yeah, that's me, Isadora. Watch me be.

[Upbeat music plays]

DESCRIPTION: In a forest, Cordelia and Isadora fly past an orange butterfly. Isadora holds Pink Rabbit as she flies.

ISADORA: I can't wait, Pink Rabbit. We're going to have a ballet lesson with Uncle Alvin. He used to be a real ballet dancer.

CORDELIA: Oh, yes. He really knows his moves.

ISADORA: Primrose does his class. If her ballet is half as good as her fairy magic, she'll be amazing.

[Mirabelle laughs]

DESCRIPTION: Mirabelle arrives, flying on her broom with Violet flying behind her.

MIRABELLE: Hey, Isadora! Aunt Cordelia!

CORDELIA: Mirabelle, how lovely to see you.

ISADORA: Yay! I didn't know you and Violet were coming, too.

MIRABELLE: Of course! It'll be my first actual ballet lesson.

ISADORA: Oh, I didn't think you liked ballet.

MIRABELLE: I don't really, but I do like my cousin Isadora. Oh, and Primrose, of course. Anyway, it'll be fun. Come on!

[Everyone laughs, the music stops]

DESCRIPTION: In the forest, they land in a clearing near Primrose and Alvin.

ALVIN: I am so excited to share with you the greatest art form in the world. Ballet! Cordelia, want to join in, too?

[Light music plays]

ALVIN: We'll see. Why not come back later with the family? We're going to put on a little show.

[The music stops]

ALVIN: Oh, I'm sorry, everyone. The show's cancelled due to an unforeseen weather event.

MIRABELLE: It's true. It was my idea.

WILBUR: Hah, awesome!

SERAPHINA: Wilbur.

[Soft music plays]

MIRABELLE: Sorry, Isadora. I shouldn't have distracted you. I know how much you wanted to try ballet.
